To avoid hang I had to boot with video=atyfb:off
I am not using the kernel fbdev.
With this I can now use X: -
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies 3D Rage Pro or similar (ATY,RageXL)"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:0:19:0"
Option "ReferenceClock" "29.500Mhz"
EndSection
Does "29.500 MHz" need to be misspelt "29.500Mhz"?
